For me, having prepared many students for this and other Cambridge exams, pre- and post-2015, when the specification changed, this is clearly the section that poses the biggest challenge.

I hope that you will find this resource a useful classroom aid, and that your students will, too. I wish them and you all the best with preparing for the exam.
